Skycoastin Steve Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 ^Let me put it this way. If I could build my own park and steal the best coasters from Six Flags parks, thus putting some of my favorite rides in one location and eliminating any reason for me to ever step foot in a SF ever again, it would be well worth the time and money spent.

WildStangAlex Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 ^ I really like Six Flags Great America. I do not speak on behalf of the chain, however. Great America has a solid coaster collection, ONE of the best water parks in the country, some decent shows and tons of atmosphere, especially at night. While Great America isn't my single favorite theme park period, it is definitely ONE of my favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhcbiinoc Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Great America really needed and deserved this in my opinion, and it looks like a great coaster. It's great to see the B&M take on the 4D design (albeit without the seat rotation; it appears as if they are using the track to create the same types of sensations) catching on so well. Seeing this layout, it would not surprise me in the least if some other parks in the Six Flags chain receive their own version of this over the next few years. A solid and smart addition to one of the best of the parks in the chain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I need to find my way to Chicago. My question is which will get more hype, X-Flight or Dollywoods supposed wing rider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhead Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Seriously... Dolly has some big shoes to fill now. Cannot wait for her announcement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I love the design and the little amount of theming. Which I love how they are using to enhance the ride. I believe Six Flags has a winner on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 This looks amazing! As said before, I too love the keyhole feature and the first drop/inversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang And Bang Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 This looks amazing on every level. Glad SFGAm got something substantial finally! And that it's in comparative spitting distance to me as this year's other big new coasters. Definitely hitting Chicago next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Looks like a great coaster! It will be weird calling the ride X-Flight, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 FINALLY, all of us near SFGam have been waiting for a decent roller coaster since Superman: Ultimate Flight in 2003. Not only is this a newer ride concept, but the layout is well-done and not ridiculously short (sometimes the case with new ride technologies).

Commando Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hopefult this is short, sweet, and intense just like Batman the Ride is. If it is, it should be worth the 9 year wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 FINALLY, all of us near SFGam have been waiting for a decent roller coaster since V2/Deja Vu in 2001. Fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harper83087 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 ^ HAHA that's kind of funny. It's like the lego people, take a top half and a bottom half and you have yourself a rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) ^^Told you you're wrong. (Sorry for the consfusion I got post sniped0 I cant wait for this to be built. But I should get used to waiting because I will be waiting 2 or 3 hours for it. Edited September 1, 2011 by Commando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Told you you're wrong. Who specifically are you talking to? Because the general consensus on here was that it was going to be a wing rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueFireCoaster Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm just gonna give myself a big ole' pat on the back for figuring this out: How is this different than any other post you make? This ride looks AWESOME! Six Flags has really outdone themselves in 2012, and here's to hoping SFMM gets an X-Wing coaster (perhaps the tallest and fastest) sometime in the future to replace Deja Vu. B&M really hit the nail on the head with these new style of coasters, it's amazing how well they're working out for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Wes was most likely talking about the two people in the Green Lantern rendering being the same people in the X-Flight rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 WOW! Six Flags has really stepped up the thrills this year and even though this was pretty much what we expected this to be I am very excited to finally have a wing coaster close to home. SFGAm is my favorite park in the chain and they really deserved this ride after the past few additions were lackluster. So glad I'm about six hours from Gurnee.
